B. Submitting Comments Please include Docket ID NRC–2012– 0299 in the subject line of your comment submission, in order to ensure that the NRC is able to make your comment submission available to the public in this docket. The NRC cautions you not to include identifying or contact information that that you do not want to be publicly disclosed in your comment submission. The NRC will post all comment submissions at https:// www.regulations.gov as well as enter the VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:35 Dec 18, 2012 Jkt 229001 comment submissions into ADAMS. The NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove identifying or contact information.

Your request should state that the NRC does not routinely edit comment submissions to remove such information before making the comment submissions available to the public or entering the comment submissions into ADAMS. II. Further Information The NRC is issuing for public comment a draft guide in the NRC’s ‘‘Regulatory Guide’’ series. This series was developed to describe and make available to the public such information as methods that are acceptable to the NRC staff for implementing specific parts of the NRC’s regulations, techniques that the staff uses in evaluating specific problems or postulated accidents, and data that the staff needs in its review of applications for permits and licenses. DG–1271 is proposed revision 1 of Regulatory Guide (RG) 1.185, ‘‘Standard Format and Content for Post-shutdown Decommissioning Activities Report,’’ which was issued in July 2000. DG– 1271 would update RG 1.185 to reflect lessons learned since its original issuance. This regulatory guide identifies the type of information that the PSDAR must contain and establishes a standard format for the PSDAR that the NRC staff considers acceptable. The PSDAR is required of nuclear power plant licensees before or within two years of permanent cessation of operations. The report must include a description of the licensee’s planned decommissioning activities, a schedule for the accomplishment of significant milestones, an estimate of expected costs, and a discussion of the licensee’s evaluation of the environmental impacts associated with site-specific decommissioning activities. III. Backfitting and Issue Finality As discussed in the ‘‘Implementation’’ section of this regulatory guide, the NRC has no current intention to impose this regulatory guide on holders of current operating licenses or combined licenses. Accordingly, the issuance of this regulatory guide would not constitute ‘‘backfitting’’ as defined in 10 CFR 50.109(a)(1) of the Backfit Rule or be otherwise inconsistent with the PO 00000 Frm 00095 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 75199 applicable issue finality provisions in 10 CFR part 52. Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 12th day of December, 2012. For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Thomas H. Boyce, Chief, Regulatory Guide Development Branch, Division of Engineering, Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research.
